Is the off-road appearance package standard ? What about the airmatic and multi-contour seats ? Are these general options also standard or are they not sold in the USA?

MarcusBenz

The 63 will get unique 20" wheels/tires & it will have an "AMG'd" version of the current Air Suspension as standard equipment. They state the HP rating @ 503 bhp & 465 lb-ft of torque.

Will you be able to go off-roading in it (ie Low Range) and How much will it tow??

BoBcanada

I dont think it was made to go offroad... how much can it tow? ummm here and example...

S-Clusiv

No off road package for the ML63

I'm planning on buying one as soon as the dealer gets some more information.

My concerns are more regarding the interior colours than with the other options. I sure don't like the standard interior roof and pillar colours.

I also don't like the aluminum trim on the doors.

I'm hoping that there will be some way to change the interior finish before I plunk down my money.

what is the (Y8X Alcantara Headliner (Matches Interior)) exactly can some one explain or maybe picture?

AMG_Power

Hello guys,
I am new to this forum and have a question to all you guys about the price shown above for the ML63. I have one on order but didnt expect this high price, the dealer informed that its gonna be in the low 70's not mid 80's. Is the $85,500 base price confirmed for the US?

MarcusBenz

Yes, this price is confirmed by Rob Allen from MBUSA - AMG dept.

MarcusBenz

The headliner in these trucks will be suede alcantara & the code will differ depending on the interior color.....for example Y83 is the code for Charcoal Alcantara.

AMG_Power

I just have to cancel my order then. Its not worth 90 grand

Yeah the premium for the AMG ML is quite a bit more than for a AMG E or CLK compared to the regular V8 models. 85K is like what 30K more than a ML500? Usually the premium is like 25K, but still..

Thats Awsom thank you ,

thats one of the things id like to get ..

Dj Euro

also my dealer has not any information on the options nor they have price list for features ,

is that normal ? people already know , how come my dealer has not got a clue?

Germancar1

Very curious thing, but that happens all the time it seems. We know more about the car than the run of the mill salesman does. Sometimes I think they know about the new models, but want you to buy a leftover model as in the case of the 06 vs 07 E's, but with the ML63 that should be the case for obvious reasons.

I agree Germancar1.....being a good salesperson is like any other profession, you must put in the effort to know more than your customers! Some people just look at this as a job & walk thier way thru with blinders on, not caring that they look dumb when they cannot answer a simple question intelligently.

My salesman still hasn't called to let me know the price. At $90K+ it's a no go for me. I want to thank ML63 for showing us his pictures. It shows me a different trend for MB on their AMG cars: trade HP for Luxury features. The interior is a major let down. ALuminum and plastic instead of wood and leather. Maybe the ML platform has to be looked at differently when adding the AMG upgrade. I think the concept in the ML is "all the technology " for the AMG buyer. I know one day I will want to drive the 500hp with AWD, but for now I will have to be satisfied with 469hp on dry roads in a more luxury sedan that cost me $77K. I will relate my jealousy everytime I see one on the road.

Scruffyone

You can buy a lot of other toys for $90k+ I'll keep my ML500 as a daily driver because it is the only vehicle I have that I drive normally, 80mph or less. It's far too tempting to hit triple digits with that much power under the hood.

Dj Euro

im keeping my order since i need the car to get some girls ... jk lol but . i had my eyes on that car for a LONG LONG LONG time. so i cant let it get away .

but i think im gonna go to the dealer within the next 3 weeks and vigorously go over my order , because i was not even told that it will have the Suede headliner,

im gonna wait for the dealer to get a brochure on the car so he can read up and tell me what options it realy has

AMG_Power

I predict this over inflated price will drop in the next year through discounts and incentives. Its a $20,000 increase over the past ML55! Porsche is preparing to launch a facelifted version of the cayenne which will hurt the ML63 sales in the next year.
